Good evening fellow countrymen and women. This is Jackson Silave, President of the Gordon Party of Zambia. Doing an interview in front of the regional political party where we have just visited our friend and colleague, the EEP president, Mr. Shilufetayal. He has been moved. For those of you who are following the story, he was arrested a few days ago and he was at Chilanga Police Station. He was moved later in the day to Musamba Police Post right there in Chilanga. And now he has been moved to Rijue, where we are right now. We have managed to see him and I must commend the Zambia Police at Rijue Police for their professionalism in the way there are hundreds of people who are coming to see Mr. Shilufetayal. Unlike what we experienced at Kavwata Police Station, where we were attacked in full view of the police by the UGMD cards, here at Rijue Police it is relatively quiet and also the manner in which the police are handling themselves deserves commendation. I think when something is being done in the right way, we must be able to call it out and also give credit where it is due. So already our first impression is that we've experienced professionalism on the part of the police at Rijue Police Post. Now coming to Mr. Shilufetayal, I've been able to speak to him. He's in high spirits but he has mentioned to me that he was badly beaten in police custody. So this confirms the story that the Socialist Party President gave to the nation that indeed he was swallowed. I want to confirm that indeed he has confirmed with me that he was badly beaten in police custody where at some point they even switched off the lights for them to just beat him. Apart from that, we noticed more so that immediately we walked in to gotten some water and a few food stuffs. We actually asked for a bottle of water from us to take some tablets. We are not so sure what that is but again he's saying that he's in pain, he's been badly beaten. We want to take great exception from that kind of conduct. Regardless of what Mr. Shilufetayal is saying, he cannot be beaten. We cannot subject our own political leaders to that kind of treatment. I think pronouncing that should be left to the courts of law. Not the police to become the judge, the jury and indeed the prosecutor that we cannot allow. So yes he has confirmed that he was badly beaten. I would like to also say thank you to the human rights organizations that have taken interest in this matter. It's not a small issue for an opposition leader to be beaten in police custody. Whatever the differences may be, there are a lot of things that I don't personally agree with the conduct of the politics or the style of politics of my colleague in the opposition. But to resort to beating him, that cannot be accepted. And I'm very thankful that as we were here, a human rights organization came in to interview him so he can be able to give perspective. He has also informed me that he has been charged now with a sedition against the president and also harassment against Shifu Mukun. I don't want to delve into that because it's under active investigation. But my appeal to the police is that let it be taken to court so that he can be able to have his day in court. And for us we feel that this whole thing of arresting opposition leaders is unnecessary. Some of these cases, it's simple. Just bring the salmon to him, let him be sued and go to court and go and explain yourself. I also want to urge the Republican president to exercise some wisdom in dealing with opposition political leaders. You cannot put opposition political leaders in a straight jacket. That is unacceptable. I think he needs to know how to deal with different characters and different temperaments in the opposition circles. It's important that the president moves in that fashion. Because as they say in Bemboa, it's chalo tachita lalanga musunga. And you cannot treat other leaders as if they are members of your household so that they can bend to your will. I think there has to be a bit of latitude on how we deal with each other in the country. I think it is, I'm on record saying that I don't agree with some of the sentiments that come from my colleagues. But again also the honest, the president being at the apex of the leadership of the country. He must exercise wisdom on how he deals with some of the colleagues in the opposition. And we are here to help. As you know, I presided over political parties for four years as their chairperson. If the president needs input from people like us, we are willing to give it freely to him. So that we advise him on the right course to deal with some of the opposition leaders in our country. Like I've said before, all these colleagues, Savoy, Chirufa Tyad, President Harry Kalama, President Sean Tembo, all these colleagues are known to me, I've spoken to them, I have interacted with them intimately, the time I was chairperson. So I can offer free advice to the president on how to deal with different opposition leaders. Otherwise what is obtaining in our country is not good. It's also not good for the president. And I think he may agree with me, you know, where you have opposition leaders being beaten in police custody, that is a dent on President Daka Indezi Chilema's record, Governor's record. So what is happening right now is not good for the country. And I wish that he should be taken to court, that he can have his day in court. As GPZ, we return our position that torturing of beating of opposition political leaders in police custody is out of question. And I pray that the officers that beat President Ali should face the law. They should be able to answer why he was beaten. Thank you very much.
